A Fight to the Finish

The Stumble {Part 1}

Erica's POV

*knock, knock* I roll over to see 4:22 am on my clock. “Who in the hell is at my door at this f****** time." I screamed hoping my voice was scaring some deranged crackhead away from my door. Boy was I wrong.... I open my door to see him drenched in blood gasping for air. I could here my heart shatter in a million pieces as my stomach was fighting itself to keep my lunch down. I couldn't believe the love of my life, my soul mate, and my partner in crime was saying his last words. “Erin,  please don't go baby I love you so much, we still never gave your moma the 7 grandkids to cooe over" I said with the lowest giggle I can possibly have with all my tears and emotions having a competition for dominance. I soon sucked it up and dragged him to my basement were I had all the supplies laid out waiting for these moments. As a placed the scape near the first bullet I was about to remove I burst into tears “I can't do this" I thought to myself.  So, I called my best friend Candy hoping she would answer even though the time.

Candy's POV                                    

I answer my phone just because I heard my main b****es ringtone. Man we've been through a lot I mean being the top drug lourdes in the south daughters and all comes with the territory I guess..  “Candy I need your help it's Erin!" she screamed into the phone. Automatically I have yo be strong for my best friend so I just told her calmly “I'm on my way just do what you can and try and keep a steady heart rate until I get there. I will be there shortly, One" , “One"... It took about 5 minutes before I got there. I opened the door and went straight to the basement were I knew she would be. I walk down the stairs quietly not to distract her.  I stop dry when I seen the pull of blood under the table but yet he had a heavy pulse. I stood there staring at my best friend standing 6'2 , with her perfect chocolate complection,  with her hour glass figure, I mean damn she was a forced to be reckoned with and she knew it, but to she her so destruct was heartbreaking. *Let me sit this as down* my ringtone for Titan began to go off causing Erica to jump and lose focus and look at me “Shit! " I thought to myself. She immediately ran to me in tears. I knew if I wouldn't have made this wall to get Erin the helped he needed we would be crying together. So, I automatically told her suck it you and get me some warm towels, aluminum foil, and thick blankets. About an hour and a half later I had Erin all stitched up with a steady heart rate and string pulse. Waiting for my brother Kayevon to come who was basically the doctor for the drug lords. I went to Erica holding her so tight sometimes I wondered if she could breathe. She put her head in the crock of my neck and cried the remaining of the morning and all I would do is hold her and cry every now and then thinking about all the things with being the daughters for the top drug lords and all. All I can say is we'be been through a lot.
